� WATER LEVELS iN THE S�UTHERN HIGH FLAINS <br />DESIGNATED GR�UND WATER BASIN <br />1992 <br />The purpose of this report is to furnish results of water-Ievel measurements from <br />monitoring wells in the Southern High Plains Designated Ground Water Basin made during <br />the spring of 1992. The project is done in covperation with lo�al well owners and the <br />5outhern High Piains Ground Water Management District. Funding for this project is <br />supplied in part from well pernut fees collected and managed by the Colorado Division of <br />Water Resources as a result of the passage of 5enate Bill 200 during the 19871egislative <br />session. Well measurements were made by Mr. Lloyd Hershey of �ie Division. <br />During the well measuring period, 78 well site were visited and b8 wells measured. Ten <br />wells were not measured due to pumping of the well. Measurements were made <br />approximately one month later than last year due to scheduling problems. Wells measured <br />are completed in either the �gallala, Dakota, Cheyenne or pocum Aquifers or in some <br />combination of aquifers. The aquifers are designated on hydrographs and data sheets as <br />follows: <br />To 4gallala Aquifer <br />Kd Dakota Aquifer <br />Kc Cheyenne Aquifer <br />TRd Docum Aquifer <br />�f the wells measured both in 1991 and 1992, 28 showed water level rises; 29 showed <br />water level decreases and two showed no change. The average change for all wells was <br />a decline of D.bS feet. Changes per aquifer or aquifer combination are as follows: <br />AUUIFER <br />�gallala (To) <br />Dakota (Kd) <br />Cheyenne (Kc} <br />- 0.3 feet <br />+ �.b feet <br />+ 0.4 feet <br />Docum (TRd) - �.4 feet <br />AQUiFER COMBINATIDNS <br />�gallala/Dakota (To,Kd) - 2.1 feet <br />�gallala/Docum ETo,TRd) - 8.5 feet <br />Dakota�/Cheyenne (Kd,Kc} - 2.5 feet <br />Dakota/Cheyenne/Docum <br />(Kd,Kc,TRd} + 2.3 feet <br />
